Unconventional Cinnamon Roll Waffles

16 The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. 

17 The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue. 

18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, 

19 that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine. 

20 Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. 

21 For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. 

22 Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you.  - Psalm 33:16-22

I saw this recipe on Delish.com.

The recipe creator was Micah Morton.

Grand kids loved them!

I changed the recipe a little.

Batter

3 large croissants or 9 oz. brioche bread cut into small pieces ( I used a combination of the two) 

1/4 c cornstarch

1 c whole milk

2 large eggs

1 t vanilla 

1 t pure maple extract

1 1/2 t ground cinnamon

3 T butter, melted

2 oz cream cheese, keep cold

2 T light brown sugar

Maple syrup, for serving

ICING

3/4 c powdered sugar

4 T milk

Preheat waffle maker. 

Spray with non stick spray.

Place bread cubes in mixing bowl toss with cornstarch and set aside. 

In another bowl whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla and cinnamon. 

Pour over bread mixture, then add in butter and mix well.

In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese and brown sugar. 

Drop small chunks of the cream cheese/brown sugar mixture into bread mixture and distribute evenly without breaking the chunks apart.

Scoop full half-cups of mixture onto hot waffle iron. 

Spread mixture out with a heatproof spatula and close the waffle iron, pressing down firmly.

Make icing: Use a fork to whisk together powdered sugar and milk, then drizzle icing over the waffles.

Once the waffle rises, check for deep brown color and remove to a plate. 

Serve with icing and syrup.
